All our student flats are located close to public transport, have amazing facilities (like gyms, Instagrammable rooftop terraces, gaming lounges, and theatre rooms), and a range of apartments.

Captivating structures aside, the city gets a good rap for its picturesque scenery, wide-as-roads walking/cycling paths, and eclectic nightlife.

Culture and Heritage: Head out to Bushy Park or Richmond Park – a royal park and nature reserve to spot some wildlife or just to laze in the sun. If you are a tennis fan or not you must visit Wimbledon, which is only 7 Km or a 30 minute Tube ride, to see the famous Tennis Championship tournaments & the Wimbledon Lawn Tennis museum.

Parks and Picnics: You can enjoy a sunny day at the Jesus Park or Cambridge University Botanical Gardens with your friends over a picnic or go punting, a favourite past time among students.

Shopping: If you are looking for some shopping to do, the Bentall Centre, Eden Walk, Fife Road and Old London road are the popular hotspots. You must visit Kingston’s 13th century - Ancient Market Place, which offers a variety of food stalls ranging from fresh fruits & vegetables to gourmet foods from different parts of the world.

Restaurants, Cafes and Bars: There is nothing like unwinding after an intense day of lectures with your friends over drinks and food; for days like these, you can head to - the Ram, the Mill, the King’s Tun, Slug & lettuce or the Library. If you want to spend your evenings watching a live band, you must check out Banquet Records, Fighting Cocks Bar or Hippodrome, 3 of the best live music venues in town. The most popular student night clubs are - McCluskies, Oceana – the largest in the UK, Bacchus, Ama-gi and Pryzm.

Jesmond:

• Proximity to University: Very close to Newcastle University's main campus (a comfortable walk for many departments). It's also well-connected by bus and Metro to Northumbria University's City Campus (a short journey).
• Access to Public Transport: Excellent. Jesmond has its own Metro station (Haymarket line), providing direct and quick access to the city centre, both universities, and other parts of Newcastle. Numerous bus routes also run through Jesmond.
• Affordability: Generally one of the more expensive student areas in Newcastle. Rent for shared houses and flats tends to be higher compared to Heaton or Fenham. However, some more affordable options can be found, especially further away from the Metro station and main shopping streets.

Heaton:

• Proximity to University: Offers good access to both universities. It's a reasonable bus or Metro ride to Newcastle University's main campus. It's also conveniently located for Northumbria University's City Campus (again, via bus or Metro). Parts of Heaton are walkable to some Newcastle University facilities, depending on the specific location within Heaton.
• Access to Public Transport: Very good. Heaton is served by several Metro stations (Byker, Chillingham Road, Walkergate) on the Yellow line, providing direct links to the city centre and both universities. Numerous bus routes also operate throughout Heaton.
• Affordability: Generally more affordable than Jesmond. You can typically find shared houses and flats at more budget-friendly prices. The cost can vary within Heaton, with areas closer to Chillingham Road and its amenities potentially being slightly more expensive.  

Fenham & Arthur's Hill:

• Proximity to University: Slightly further from the main campuses compared to Jesmond and Heaton. However, both areas are well-served by direct bus routes to Newcastle University and Northumbria University's City Campus. The journey by bus is generally manageable.
• Access to Public Transport: Good. Fenham and Arthur's Hill have frequent bus services connecting them to the city centre and the universities. While there isn't a direct Metro line running through these areas, bus connections to Metro stations are usually available.
• Affordability: Typically the most affordable of these three areas. Rent for shared houses and flats is generally lower, making it an attractive option for students on a tighter budget.

City Centre:

• Proximity to University: Very close to Northumbria University's City Campus (often within walking distance). Offers good public transport links (Metro and bus) to Newcastle University's main campus (a short ride).
• Access to Public Transport: Excellent. The city centre has multiple Metro stations (Haymarket, Monument, Central Station) providing access to all parts of Newcastle and beyond. It's also the central hub for many bus routes.  
• Affordability: Can be expensive, particularly for modern, purpose-built student accommodation. However, some more affordable shared housing options might be available in less central parts of the city centre.
